Form 67 is an important document by which residents can claim the tax deducted in a foreign state. This form must be furnished to claim the FTC by a taxpayer, as per the rules of the Income Tax Department, Section 128(9). Before the end of the assessment year, a taxpayer is also required to fill out the Form 67 for the original return under section 139(1), or belated return section 139(4), which is for the year 2024-25. Additionally, to claim the tax credit, you must file Form 67 before December 31, 2024.
From what I understand, whether you need Form 67 depends on your residential status. I'm an NRI living in the UAE, and I didn't have to file it because I wasn't claiming any Foreign Tax Credit in India. It's worth checking your tax residency first because that determines which rules apply.
I filed Form 67 last year because I was an Indian tax resident and had already paid tax on dividend income in the US. My CA explained that the form is used to claim Foreign Tax Credit so that the same income isn't taxed twice. I filed it online before completing my ITR.
The information filled in the Form 67 must match the ITR data, which are:
Can anybody please tell me whether I have to fill out Form 67 if I have taxes withheld by a foreign employee?
You need to fill form 67 to claim the foreign tax credit in your Indian tax return, if the taxes with withheld by a foreign employee. You also need to refer to articles 15 and 16 of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) with respect to the allowability of credit.

I was confused about this too. My tax consultant told me that Form 67 isn't required just because you have foreign income. It's mainly needed if you're claiming a Foreign Tax Credit in India under the DTAA or the relevant provisions of the Income-tax Act. Requirements can vary depending on your situation, so I would verify it before filing.
